She estimated the city's pop ulation by the end of 1949 at 433,000, a gain of 6,000 for the year. Mrs. Lee presented a detailed discussion on Portland's finan cial difficulty, which she partly blamed on the monopoly of rev enue sources by the state and federal government. On the brighter side, the re port said 60 new industries were started in Portland with a total investment of more than $2, 000,000. In addition, said the re port, 70 businesses spent a total of $4,500,000 on expansion pro grams.

W. Gearhart and told Gearhart he wanted to contact Howser. His purpose, he said, was to let Howser know he was willing to repudiate the Pearson broadcast. Before the visit, however, Mul loy said a mysterious "fat man" told him Howser would pay $25,000 to change his version of the bookie payoff.
